Light-Duty Towing

Light-duty towing refers to the transport and recovery of smaller vehicles that can be safely handled with a standard tow truck or flatbed. These vehicles typically weigh under 10,000 pounds and do not require heavy-duty towing equipment.

At Shad Randall’s Towing & Recovery, our light-duty tow trucks are equipped to safely handle everyday passenger vehicles, small trucks, and other light vehicles. Our trained operators use proper securing methods and professional equipment to ensure vehicles are transported safely without damage.

To ensure we send the correct equipment the first time, we ask a few questions when you call for service. Providing accurate details helps avoid delays and additional costs.
